The 2009 UPLB Annual Report: Honoring our Centennial Heritage

Comments

Content

The thrust towards reflection and commitment building provided us with the impetus to move forward to attain our goals and objectives. In instruction and research, we set the stage for the formulation of innovative and adaptive academic and research programs. Thus, we instituted new programs and new courses as well as revised others in niches that we are strongly identified with. Our outputs also included programs that would harness the professional expertise of our faculty towards re-engineering, revitalizing, strengthening and reconceptualizing the University and to improve the RGEP. Several UPLB units earned distinctions as CHED centers of excellence and of development while many of our faculty produced important books and publications. Our graduates’ performance in professional board examinations typified distinctive excellence that we collectively aspired for. To continue to broaden our sphere of influence as a key center for education, training, research and extension in the Asia-Pacific region, we continued to push for internationalization through our linkages, technical cooperation, resource sharing, and partnerships. We have also continued to be true to our calling as Iskolar Para sa Bayan through our public service activities and in the generation of technologies that have changed the way in which our people are producing food. We also advocated for reforms that have been designed with the common welfare as an underpinning justification. Parallel to these concerns, we strengthened our resource base through new and continuing programs that are armed to improve governance in the University. We have set the stage for the University’s becoming a hub for technology incubation and facilitate the successful disposition of commerciable technologies. We tapped the power of the Internet to fast track administrative processes and to save on resources that we ordinarily need for these to be accomplished. We have also made communication within and outside the University more efficient while providing our students wireless connectivity. Our expertise in R&D once again proved to be an important stream for generating financial resources. We also started resource generation projects in our land grants and will continue to explore other income streams such as our technologies. A third program thrust is our celebration of the UPLB Centennial. We conducted University-wide activities in cooperation with our students, alumni and friends. These included celebration, commemoration and fund raising activities that our alumni really supported.

1 UPLB Annual Report 2009

Introduction

We have just celebrated a milestone in the life of the University, 2009 being its first centennial. It has been an auspicious year as we relentlessly worked on our programs and thrusts and implemented reforms just as we saw some of the things we had earlier worked for bear fruit. The year has been one replete with efforts to honor our heritage and to map a brighter future for UPLB. Our activities revolved around three major program thrusts: reflection and commitment building, strengthening our resource base, and celebrating our centennial while we continued to pursue the various programs we have already put in place. The External Program Evaluation and Management Review (EPR) conducted in 2008 highlighted opportunities for new niches, structural and institutional change, options for integrated development, revenue generation, professional development, and long-term visioning for UPLB to maintain excellence and relevance amidst changing times. Among other recommendations of the EPR was for the University to focus on the niches of agriculture, natural resources, and environment with growth areas on food and nutrition safety and security, integrated natural resources and environmental management, climate change and human aggravated disasters, and energy systems. These areas are anchored on our strengths in the basic sciences, education and human development, culture and the arts, biotechnology, information and communication technology, and engineering with cross cutting concerns in development and governance.

Honoring Our Centennial Heritage 2

In 2009, we started to provide flesh to the External Review Program recommendations through other reflective activities: 1) the Strategic Review of UPLB’s Human Resources by a team of topnotch former University personnel; 2) the Faculty Conference participated in by 200 faculty members; and 3) the UPLB Management Planning Workshop. Taking the cue, colleges conducted their own reexamination of curricular programs and activities with the UP System priorities and the Universitywide review results in mind. A UP System seminar workshop on the basics of preparing and evaluating curricular proposals attended by our faculty members facilitated the process of curricular revision. Colleges have thus reviewed and aligned academic and research programs with that of UPLB’s niches and themes and undertook steps to strengthen interdisciplinarity in programs that benefit from the approach. As an offshoot, there is today, a continuing effort everywhere in the

University to set the stage for and formulate innovative and adaptive academic and research programs. Colleges have held conferences and workshops to review curricular offerings against the backdrop of emerging trends and issues in their respective fields. Strengthening our niches. Exciting developments in 2009 were the approval of the offering of the BS Agricultural Biotechnology and the new specialization of pollution engineering under the MS Chemical Engineering program. We believe this is the way to go in program offerings integrated and transdisciplinary - the better to optimize our material and human resources. There are emerging developments elsewhere in the University, such as the institution of new graduate and undergraduate courses in forest landscape restoration and rehabilitation, economics of climate change, agroforestry, and landscape analysis; new general education courses such as Exploring

Biotechnology, Seeing Society in the Lives of Contemporary Philippines; and integrative approaches to learning that incorporate issues and concerns on food security and safety, public utility of water resources, and pollution and waste management. The proposal for the MS Environmental Engineering is also now in progress. We are positive that all these pockets of development will progressively build up to more relevant programs and activities. One thing that we especially look forward to is the movement towards strengthening and establishing interdisciplinary programs on important fields. This means that we will see more exciting developments in research and instruction where the need for interdisciplinarity is all the more necessary and urgent given the complex challenges in agriculture, food production, natural resource management, climate change, and alternative energy. Harnessing the professional expertise of our faculty. We proposed and got the approval of the Board of

Honoring Our Centennial Heritage 4
Regents (BOR) for the institution of the UPLB Centennial Professorial Chair and Faculty Grant Awards that will finance 100 professorial chairs and faculty grants worth P100,000 and P50,000 each, respectively. The lectures shall be used to harness the varied professional expertise of UPLB’s faculty to focus on how they can contribute to address the recommendations of the EPR and the purposes of the University as mandated by the New UP Charter, particularly in re-engineering, revitalizing, strengthening, and reconceptualizing UPLB for the next century. The output from the faculty grants, on the other hand, will be used to improve the Revitalized General Education Program (RGEP). UPLB faculty and researchers have also produced important books:
“Animal Breeding Principles and Practice in the Philippine Context” by Dr. Orville L. Bondoc “Vascular Flow of Mount Makiling and Vicinity (Part 3)” by the late Dr. Juan V. Pancho and Dr. William SM.

The awards have been allocated P15 million, an amount sourced from the UPLB Endowment Fund. We have already awarded 80 faculty members to work on administration and governance, curricular program reforms, arts and culture, food security and food safety, alternative energy sources and options, environment and natural resources, and integrated natural resources and environmental management.

In 2008, we implemented the Distinctive Excellence Program for colleges to invest a grant of P1.0 million in activities that will strengthen their hold on areas that they are best known for. Activities spilled over to 2009, with colleges stepping up their creative and scholarly productivity, and building up their human resource and physical facilities.

IC), information technology education (Institute of Computer Science or ICS), and mathematics education (Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Physics or IMSP), and one center of development in statistics education (Institute of Statistics or INSTAT). Nine journals published by University-related units and organizations can now be accessed on (http://journals.uplb.edu.ph) or the UPLB Journals Online. There are 36 issues of various journals available through the web facility where users can read and download abstracts of journal articles. Faculty members and researchers disseminated research results through ISI-indexed journals, professorial chairs, and other publications. The UPLB publications output for 2009 listed a total of 547 knowledge products comprised of 154 published in refereed journals, 36 books/ book chapters and about 293 papers read in international and national conferences. There were 15 papers published in proceedings of conferences, 36 in national and 15 in international conferences. There were 13 publications in the form of creative writing, monograph, popular forms, policy briefs, oral papers, and working papers. The year also saw more theatrical productions, most of which communicated science and its importance. Meanwhile, our graduates continued to dominate government licensure examinations such as in agricultural engineering (86%), electrical engineering (94%), nutrition (100%), veterinary medicine (60%), chemical engineering (90%), forestry (84%), chemistry (92%), agriculture (97%), and civil engineering (100%). as our partners in the areas of sustainable agriculture and natural resource management, agricultural development, policy advice, microfinance, research and training, animal health, and rice research.

Among these are the South East Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management (SANREM), United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Asia Internationalization. We maintained Pacific Network for Global Change our linkages and partnerships with Research (APN-GCR), International local and international institutions Geosphere Biosphere Program, in areas of technical cooperation, International Human Dimensions assistance, resource sharing, and Programme on Global Environmental technology incubation. For joint Change, Chiangmai University, Cantho research programs and academic University, Wageningen International, exchanges, we have developed strong World Agroforestry Center, Worldfish, ties with 42 foreign universities.

of England through the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kews, England. We have also continued to work with the Agricultural Biotechnology Support Project (ABSP), Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC), and the International Service for the Acquisition of Agribiotech Applications (ISAAA). Internationalization is consistent with a path that the External Review Committee recommended for the University to continue to broaden its sphere of influence as a key center for training, research, and extension in tropical agriculture and forestry in Asia. We provided expertise to international organizations in areas including climate change, environment, and agriculture. These are the FAO, IAEA, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven-Belgium, and the North of England Zoological Society. We have maintained academic exchange programs and hosted 13

foreign exchange students from the US, Canada, Korea and Japan. Meanwhile, we sent five exchange students to Michigan State University, two to Cornell University, and one to the University of Tsukuba in Japan. Internationalization is also defined by how known the University is as a center of learning in the international community. This year we had a total of 2,320 foreign students from 24 countries enrolled in various programs. Many of them are from Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Lao-PDR, and Vietnam. Smaller numbers come from Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, East Timor, Germany, Ghana, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, Lao-People’s Democratic Republic (Lao-PDR), Malaysia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Sudan, Sweden, Tanzania, and Thailand. To strengthen the international perspective in our graduate programs, we invited adjunct professors out of which IRRI has contributed the most number (30 of 47). We also had two adjunct professors from

SEARCA. Moreover, we maintained our collaboration with The Asia Pacific Scholarship Consortium initiated by Thabyay Education Network and established to build the capacity of those working for development, health, education, and civil society building in Myanmar, Lao PDR and Cambodia by providing scholarships to committed individuals in these countries. In terms of contribution to the fund of knowledge during the period, our researchers and faculty members produced 442 articles that were published in ISI-indexed journals and 106 articles in international refereed journals. They also presented 233 papers in international conferences. The FAO tapped our communication experts to take the lead as the regional hub in Asia for information and knowledge sharing on the importance of communication in climate change adaptation. They will be working with hubs in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. Moreover, they have been assisting the Bangladesh government

the Department of Agriculture to implement the “Cebu Goes Organic Program.” Technologies. We have produced important biotechnologies such as the tissue culture protocol for faster propagation of better varieties of mango - one of our country’s most important fruit crops. We have also produced exceptional varieties of vegetables, corn, rice, and ornamentals. The Germplasm and Technology Registration and Release Office (GTRRO) approved the release of five varieties of corn, two of rice, two hibiscus hybrids, two mussaendas, and two technologies. GTRRO varieties and technologies are duly registered germplasm and technologies released to parties outside of the Crop Science Cluster- Institute of Plant Breeding (CSC-IPB). The five corn varieties are IPB Var 6, 8, 9, 11, and 13, yielding from five to over six tons per hectare and even a much higher national yield potential. The rice varieties are Mestiso 19 and 20. Mestiso 19 yields an average of 7 t/ ha and 6.5 t/ha during the dry and wet seasons, respectively. Mestiso 20 has a mean yield across seasons of 6.4 t/ha. We developed breeder seeds of rice (Mestiso 1, 3, and 7) and submitted these for seed certification to the National Seed Quality Control Services (NSQCS) while some were dispatched to seed grower cooperatives and LGUs engaged in basic seed production of hybrid parentals. The GTRRO-approved ornamentals are Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Loren Legarda’, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Lilia de Lima’, Mussaenda ‘Emerlinda Roman’, and Mussaenda ‘Clara Davide.’ We generated important technologies such as chicken featherboard as a construction material, and a way

in planning and implementing communication activities in climate change including putting up the country’s first community radio and capacity building.

We also benefit from an international perspective provided by our Balik Scientists.

Policy advocacy. We continued to craft, review, and lobby for various policies such as the 2009 Climate Change Act, the National Extension System Act, Anti-Rabies Act, Animal Act, Agrarian Reform, Forestry and Forest Development, VetMed Practice Act, CARP extension, and 10 proposed bills and administrative orders in forestry. We came up with a proposed bill entitled “An Act Providing for the Protection and Sustainable Management of Forest Ecosystems for Climate Change Adaptation and Poverty Reduction.” We also contributed technical knowledge to policy making and coordinating bodies in agriculture, biotechnology, forestry, and food and nutrition, among others. The local government units around Laguna and Batangas and neighboring provinces have been our partners in advocacy work in the areas of consumer welfare and protection, organization capacity building and empowerment, network and linkaging, youth/student development, and pollution and waste management social support systems. Beneficiaries are youth, students, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs). Our experts have helped prepare indicative climate change adaptation plan of selected local government units in Albay, the national policy framework and guidelines for urban health systems, and the integrated communication strategy for the rehabilitation of the MarilaoMeycauayan-Obando River System Project. We have also designed a model township in a Camarines Norte locality that showcases preservation of natural resources and provision of sustainable livelihood through eco-tourism and agro-industry. We conducted environmental impact assessment to help improve the Cavinti water system and the wastewater treatment facility in Paete. The Batangas City environmental code is a product of collaboration between our climate change experts and the local government officials. Giving prominence to public service through policy advocacy as a component of our mandate is in step with a paradigm shift that we have initiated at UPLB to highlight a culture of service that we have nourished from the beginning. Instead of mouthing the mantra “Iskolar ng Bayan,” and promoting a culture of entitlement, we believe that the times call for us to be more outward looking, to be a strong force towards positive societal transformation by demanding of ourselves unstinting service to the nation that has supported us. With this shift, we have taken on a battlecry that encapsulates what we want and should become as “Iskolar para sa Bayan!”

Interdisciplinary programs. Communication and postharvest experts joined forces in formulating communication strategies to improve food handling and quality during the postharvest of fruits and vegetables. The University, through the Graduate School, became a member of the science consortium of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to accelerate the development of a critical mass of

Town-and-Gown Partnership. We are a member of the Los Baños Science Community Foundation, Inc., through which we have collaborated and cooperated with the other members to create a model community that is prosperous, environmentally conscious, scientifically oriented, and lives in harmony with nature. To this end, we have initiated the first science festival in the country. Our facilities have provided outdoor recreational and educational venues to the general public. These are the Makiling Botanic Garden, the Museum of Natural History, our athletic field, and hiking and mountaineering destinations such as Mudsprings and Peak 2. The “100 Steps to Health: Centennial Community Aerobics Program” has attracted droves to the Baker Hall grounds every Saturday morning for their fitness routine. We have provided public access to the facilities and the medical experts at the University Health Service, including provision of health- and life-related outreach programs such as medical and dental services. Moreover, we have assisted the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) in its bloodletting activities and deployed medical personnel to medical missions and relief operations for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy. Our participation and support to campaigns, i.e., on the influenza A H1N1, status of water resources, minimizing waste by controlling the use of plastic bags, and smoking cessation have greatly contributed to public awareness on key health and environment issues. medicine research and use of medicinal plants, seed production, propagation of hi-value crops, pest management, plant health and disease diagnosis, and farm mechanization. We do this through on-field extension work and through a revitalized partnering strategy via Radyo DZLB. We continued to conduct longterm action/extension projects and non-formal education activities on participatory upland development, characterization of indigenous heavy metal accumulating plants, community-based watershed management approach, biodiversity, and policy studies.

Our volunteer service is carried out institutionally through the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod that coordinates various Technology and Information capability building programs and Transfer and Voluntarism. We shared activities for indigenous communities, to various clientele our expertise on farmers, public high school teachers For years now, we have been various topics such as beekeeping, and students, and alumni.

information dissemination, trainings, workshops and symposia, technical assistance, mentoring, and other services. Climate change-related disasters in the past years have made it urgent for us to be fully involved in disaster risk reduction work and in disaster management. We have built the capacity of villagers in a landslideprone community to use a rain gauge to help them in making informed decisions in disaster risk reduction. Moreover, we have been very much involved in disaster relief work in Laguna municipalities that were inundated by floodwaters for several months after typhoon Ondoy .

Human resource. To address our continuing need for first-rate faculty members, we implemented the Graduate Mentoring and Apprenticeship Program through which we put some of our best graduate students under the mentorship of our best faculty members. Another institutional change that the External Review Committee pointed out as necessary for the growth of the University is the need to formally recognize faculty and staff members who excel. Yearly, we have been awarding outstanding teachers, researchers, extension, and administrative staff. We have also endorsed recommendations of deserving personnel to various external awards.

Among our faculty members and researchers who garnered prestigious awards this year were: • Dr. Christian Joseph Cumagun, professor at the CACPC, was selected as one of the five young affiliates of The Academy of Sciences in the Developing World (TWAS) from the East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific for 2009-2013 for his research on Fusarium genetics and mycotoxins; Dr. Cumagun also received The Outstanding Young Men Award the preceding year. • Dr. David Manalo, university researcher at the Farming Systems and Soil Resources Institute of the Agriculture Systems Cluster, had two entries winning in the Ninth Global Development Marketplace, an international competitive grant program for innovation in development in Washington.

Endowment for students. The University is classified as a Bracket C campus where most of our STFAP grantees belong. Of 1,728 grantees in the Second Semester SY 2008-09, 64 percent belonged to Bracket C and only 5 percent to Bracket E. For the First Semester SY 2009-10, the grantees for the alphabetic STFAP increased by 30 percent. Of the STFAP grantees from UPLB, 891 (39%) were classified as Bracket C (40% discount on base tuition fee, full miscellaneous and laboratory fees); 758 (33%) were classified Bracket D (70% discount on base tuition fee, full miscellaneous and laboratory fees); and 461 (20%) were either Bracket E1 (full tuition subsidy and free matriculation plus cash benefit of P12,000/semester) or Bracket E2 (full tuition subsidy and free matriculation). Bello Scholarship grant, and one from the Peace Corps Alumni Foundation for Philippine Development. A total of P825,000 per year boosted the scholarship fund to P3.9 million per year, with P2.0 million donated by the Land Bank of the Philippines. Student assistantships. A total of 748 and 716 students worked under the Student Assistantship Program in the Second Semester SY 200809 and First Semester SY 2009-10, respectively. The student assistants rendered clerical (37%), laboratory/ technical (34%), and research (18%) work. They also served as library and reading room assistants (11%). The University paid out a total of P8.7 million under the program for during the period. and corporate donors. The SLP has also been boosted by the UP Alumni Association of Sacramento, the P1.0 million cash loan by the CHED under the CHED-Student Assistance for Education Program, and by donations from kind individuals. Class size optimization. We offered more courses in large class format. The large class format helps address the perennial problem of bottleneck courses and put us in a better position to accommodate more freshmen and help UP fulfill its mandate of providing affordable quality education to more students. It allows more students to benefit from the expertise and experience of senior faculty members who serve as lecturers and provide junior faculty members more time to pursue and complete their advanced degrees. Research surveys determined the optimal class size for large classes and

the perceptions of students enrolled in large classes. The research found that increasing class size did not affect student performance in Statistics 1 course. Test implementation of the large class format also revealed that it did not affect student performance. In most mathematics courses, the passing rates even increased. The scores of teachers in the Student’s Evaluation of Teachers (SET) also did not vary from their previous scores. The University is continuously taking note of problems and challenges to improve the implementation of the large class format. Industry-academe linkage. We have finished the accreditation procedure for the 126.5-ha UPLB Agro-Industrial Park and the 8-ha UPLB Information Technology Park with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). This will enable us to facilitate technology transfer through better industry-academe linkage. Earlier in 2008, UPLB created the Center for Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship that integrates programs and policies towards the protection, promotion and successful disposition of the University’s technologies through various technology transfer modes. Technology business incubation. We are actively pursuing a technology business incubator (TBI) program with the Philippine Council for Advanced Science and Technology Research and Development (PCASTRD) and InWent Ggmbh at the Information Technology Park (ITP). We have also proposed to establish the Knowledge Enterprise Incubation Center (KEICEN) at the ITP to facilitate the commercialization of information and communication technologies developed in and outside the University. KEICEN aims to attract 20 incubatees working on information technologies and is envisioned to be operational in 2010. Information technology. We have used information technology to improve administrative efficiency and to support us in our academic pursuits. We have enhanced our network and VoIP interconnectivity with the National Capital Region which hosts the national headquarters of various agencies. Progressing closely to paperless transactions, the University has implemented the online Document Tracking System (DTS) using MS Access to facilitate administrative functions such as purchasing, canvassing, and communicating. Video conferencing and web livestreaming have also helped us get in touch with foreign consultants and UPLB-bred scientists who continue to assist us from the countries where they are now based. We have also beamed our activities such as the centennial lectures, graduation ceremonies, and alumni reunions to audiences all around the world through the Internet. We have increased network connectivity to different campus units by restoring damaged sections and connecting almost all of the University offices to the UPLB fiber optic network. We have installed fiber optic wireless bridge between UPOU and the Vetmed Clinic; installed horizontal cabling at the IPB Administration and Plant Cell and Tissue Culture Laboratory; and repaired the fiber optic connection of the New Agricultural Economics Building. We have provided free WiFi Internet Access to students at the Institute of Computer Science (ICS), College of Development Communication (CDC), Carillon, New Electrical Engineering (EE) Building, Main Library, Agricultural Credit and Cooperatives Institute (ACCI) Auditorium, Animal and Dairy Science Cluster (ADSC) Villegas Hall and ABROD, FRONDA, Continuing Education Center (CEC), and the University Library. The University has also finalized the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) by peering with Department of Science

and Technology-Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) that will provide faster access to other research and academic networks like UP Diliman and Asia-Pacific Advance Network (APAN). Peering with the DOST-ASTI proxy server provides additional 2-6 mbps to our existing Internet bandwidth. Video conferencing capability The Internet capacity of UPLB has enabled it to successfully webcast the UP Centennial Lecture Series and the commencement program. The livestreaming of the 37th Commencement Exercises was accessed by 648 people who made a total of 975 visits to the site. Livestream audience were from the Philippines, the United States, Japan, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Sweden, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Hongkong, Italy, Belgium, France, Qatar, and Thailand. VoIP connectivity We have peered with the UP Diliman VoIP server to establish a

17 UPLB Annual Report 2009
direct line to UP Diliman for both incoming and outgoing calls. This has also directly connected us with Metro Manila, generating considerable savings from long distance calls. UPLB can now make free calls to Manila landlines through its VoIP system. This was made possible by the generous decision of IRRI to share with UPLB its 155 mbps Asia-Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) connection for noncommercial traffic. This has allowed UPLB to save substantial amounts of money on official calls to Manila landlines. We installed and configured more than 200 VoIP phones in different UPLB offices, including the ICS, Administration Building and the College of Engineering and AgroIndustrial Technology (CEAT) network nodes for increased local network capacity. We also installed virtual LANs to address scalability, security, and network management to provide flexibility to adapt to changes in network requirements and allow for simplified administration of the UPLB Network. Hardware The University deployed a free Internet kiosk at the UPLB Administration Building so that students can do quick browsing or information access. The GS procured 13 computers and distributed one each to the colleges with copies of the GS records and database files for them to monitor their respective graduate students and faculty members. We have continued to deploy, configure, and maintain thin-client computers, including that of the HRDO for data encoding. Trainings and seminars We trained faculty and staff on the use of the UPLB web mail. To ease the migration from Windows to Linux, we trained staff on the use of Ubuntu + Open Office, a license-free software. We also trained staff on electronic dissemination of memoranda (eMemo) to facilitate information dissemination and reduce the cost of reproduction.

The University implemented the online Document Tracking System (DTS) to facilitate office functions, including documents databasing and processing such as purchase requests, Website Content Management canvass documents, vouchers, The University launched the new and communications. The Records UPLB Website in February. It features Management Office has used the a new look and newer versions DTS as a system database storing of applications, a new content digitized images of general records and management system, and promotes personnel including BOR resolutions, a collaborative content development issuances, policies and procedures, system. Moreover, we also launched a functions and authorities, and other new website to serve as UPLB’s portal related documents. The DTS is part on research and extension, an online of system architecture for offices reference for administrators, scientists, to fast track the computerization of research staff, and agencies and administrative functions in UPLB. institutions that fund the University’s research projects.

IT-based decision support system We developed various systems to facilitate documents processing: the OVCRE Research Tracking System Phase 1, HRDO Employee Information Management System, Library Computer Usage Tracking System, Housing Database, CEC Online Reservation System, Stock Management Information System, BAC Procurement System, online application for the preparation of APP List 1, and Alumni Information System. As a control mechanism, the ITC has been tasked to purchase requests for computers, parts, supplies, and peripherals before forwarding them to the Bids and Awards Committee.

In the Laguna Quezon Land Grant (LQLG), we have opened a 5-ha citronella plantation to provide vegetative cover and generate income from the production of essential oils. Seeing its potential, we sourced funding support from the UP System to acquire an extractor that produces 40 L citronella oil and a shredder that processes up to 170 kg raw grass. The UP System provided P2.8 million to expand our citronella plantation at the LQLG.

envisioned to become the blueprint for sustainable management and development of the UP Land Grants. Even as this plan is necessary to sustain the products and environmental services that the land grants can offer within the intensiveuse, forest-production, and forestprotection zones, it is also envisioned to address the problems confronting the land grants. Research resource generation. R&D funds generated in 2009 amounted to P251.16 million or P32.1 million higher than in 2008. The total R&D budget for 2009 was P100.07 million for 188 projects. UPLB got its highest research grant of P98.849 million from government agencies for 183 projects. This was followed by international organizations (P 0.616 million) for three projects; and local/private organizations (P 0.603 million) for two projects. Among the government agencies, PCARRD provided the highest project support (P21.772 M) followed by PCARRD-DOST (P18.008 M) and Philippine Council for Industry and Engineering Research and Development or PCIERD (P12.505 M). Among the international organizations, the IAEA provided the highest R&D funds of P307,000 followed by North of England Zoological Society with P194,000. From local/private organization, Procter & Gamble Distributing Phil. Co., provided P500,000 while the Federation of Free Farmers provided P103,000.

The University has also prioritized the funding of basic researches to discover technological breakthroughs, either in the form of products or services/processes. Self-sustaining income-generating units. We have enhanced our resources with the Graduate Education Development Fund and the graduate tuition fee increase which generated P3.51 million and P5.60 million, respectively. Meanwhile, we continued to see the potentials in centralizing the University’s research and analytical laboratories to efficiently provide the regional integrated agricultural research centers’ requirements for analytical diagnostic procedures, i.e., soil and fertilizer quality, pesticide and residue analysis, plant pests and disease diagnosis We created the Committee on Related RDE Centers to study this matter and we are now conducting a survey of these analytical laboratories. We have enhanced our online library resources at the Main Library and recently set up an online system for the CFNR Library. In terms of physical infrastructure, we completed seven rehabilitation projects and perimeter fencing for enhanced security. All this amounted to P22.4 million. We have beefed up our medical specialist-consultants bringing the total number to 54, representing various fields. We have also conducted immunization programs against influenza, typhoid, pneumonia, and hepatitis B and information campaigns on the A(H1N1) virus and smoking cessation.

The year 2009 was a time to mark a milestone in the life of the University – the UPLB Centennial. Our celebration has been an opportunity to come together, to strengthen relationships, to reflect upon the University’s contribution to nation building and how to sustain and enhance this contribution even more, and to generate support for our activities. The Centennial celebration activities also included planning for the UPLB Centennial Lecture Series and the awarding of the UPLB Centennial Heritage Award or the Gawad Kilapsaw. The lecture series is part of the reflection and commitment building component of the UPLB Centennial program and is themed “Visions and Pathways of Change: The UPLB of the Future.” It will provide the UPLB Community an opportunity to listen and learn from the UPLB Centennial Fellows – distinguished individuals who have made a difference in fields of expertise and endeavor where UPLB seeks to likewise excel. We implemented Espasyal Ka sa Elbi to which 27 establishments (restaurants, souvenir shops, hotels, resorts, salons and spas) within and outside the campus and in neighboring towns and cities have participated. These establishments agreed to be our partner in giving special privileges (5-10 percent discount) to UPLB alumni. Privilege cards were issued to alumni who were interested to avail of the special privileges in these establishments.

Centennial activities. We conducted campus-wide centennial celebration activities, starting with the week-long Foundation Day celebration on March 2-8. It featured a flower and garden show, agri-fair and techno events, the Centennial Pinoy Rodeo, street dancing, and a sky diving show. We also held a concert entitled “The Seed” during the UPLB and UPLBCA foundation day on March 6, 2009 as the first of four performances representing developmental milestones in the life of the University portrayed through the Centennial Cycle Performance Project (C2P2). Other C2P2 programs were “The Planting” staged during the commencement exercise, “The Harvest” during the UPLB Loyalty Day and Alumni Homecoming celebration in October, and the “Replanting” on March 2010 to culminate the centennial celebration. To promote TEAM spirit and foster camaraderie, we also held the Centennial Palaro on February 4-7.

We have pursued Make it UPLB!
